Heimtextil 2023: Emerging Trends & Insights from the Global Textile Industry
Heimtextil 2023: Emerging Trends & Insights from the Global Textile Industry

One of the largest international B2B trade fairs for home and contract textiles, Heimtextil is a show I never miss as a textile consultant. I attended the 2023 fair this year with two hats on: sourcing for my high-end clientele, and analyzing thousands of offerings for incoming design trends to help my subscribers do their best work. Heimtextil is an important event to spot emerging trends precisely because it is B2B. The new ideas, colors, and innovations shown here are often years ahead of hitting the market. This is a preview of our Heimtextil 2023 Special Report, with exclusive insights from the show halls that you won’t see anywhere else.

Future Fabric Trends: Proposte Fair 2021

Since 1993, Proposte Fair has been an indispensable trade show for the high-end, home furnishings textile industry. By now, I have lost count of how many times I have walked the halls of Proposte looking for the perfect textile for this collection or that project. I first visited early on in my career when I worked at Schumacher, and I’ve never stopped feeling like a kid in a candy store.
